Select Use custom Help script to add a Help menu item (“<solution name>
Help”) to the top of the Help menu in Windows and at the bottom of the
Help menu in the Mac OS.
To specify a custom Help script:
1. In the third panel of the FileMaker Pro Binder application, select the
Use custom Help script checkbox.
2. Select the script name that displays your FileMaker Pro help layout
in the primary solution file.
When end users select “<solution name> Help” in the runtime
application, the specified script executes and displays your Help layout.
Note The FileMaker Pro Help system is not available in the FileMaker Pro
runtime application.
To create a help layout:
1. Using FileMaker Pro 4.0, open the Cat_help.usr file: Developer
Tools CD-ROM\FileMaker Pro Examples and Tools\Runtime
Solution Example.
The Runtime Solution Example demonstrates a button-driven help
system that is integrated into the solution. It provides help on a
variety of FileMaker Pro tasks, such as finding, sorting, printing,
importing, and exporting. Using FileMaker Pro buttons and
commands, users are directed to a separate file where they select help
topics from a menu. A button is available to return the user to the
main solution file.
